Well, Mum has only been back from holiday for a few days and to be honest I have been pretty mean to her
frown.gif
. The problem was I was really enjoying my little holiday and although I was pleased to see Mum back with the carrots she seemed to be on a mission to make me work hard
frown.gif
. But I went too far on Weds, I messed about and then did a big side step in canter and she fell off and it seems I made her cry
blush.gif
– ooops, it was definitely a step too far as I didn’t get my apple treat!

So along came today and it was obvious Mum was taking me somewhere as she had put those poncy braids in my mane and tail, but I decided it was about time I reverted to ‘good old George’

. I went on the wheely stable like a bullet out of a gun and really behaved myself whilst I was there, especially as I had a huge haynet.

We arrived at the party and there were lots of horses there, including some fit mares that I winked at, what a treat
smile.gif
. Mum got me ready and she was very calm, hmmm she seems to be getting good at this! I went in the work area with the other horses and I was very good and well behaved.

We then went into the big arena where we are supposed to behave, I was a bit disappointed because I’ve been here a few times jumping, but there weren’t any jumps
frown.gif
. But boy were there some scarey things, flowers in pots that I think were horse eating varieties
shocked.gif
, and then 2 people sat at a table – what reason could they be there for other than to scare me? So as we walked round I dug my heels in as I was far to scared to go past, but Mummy wasn’t having it and we went past and the people smiled

.

We did our bit, Mum got me confused with the right canter, I didn’t know if she meant left or right so got in a muddle, but when we finished she hugged me (nice, but don’t tell my mates!). I heard her say she’d come 5th and she seemed really pleased!

Then shock horror we had to do another one, Mum confused me again with one of the canters and I think I did the wrong thing, think we will both need to practice at home. At the end I got lots more pats, she got a sheet afterwards (but not another girly ribbon thing thank goodness) and I heard her read out ‘powerful horse with lots of ability’ – oh yeah man that’s me
grin.gif
! Then she said ‘oh wow we’ve qualified for the Trailblazers 2nd round’ – hmmm not sure I like the sound of that, sounds like hard work
tongue.gif
!

We then went home after a lovely hose down, and Mum put me in the field and kept hugging and kissing me – oh boy I wish she wouldn’t do that in front of my mates
blush.gif
, worse I hope they don’t realise I like it. Then my day was complete when I got some carrots

.

Very pooped now and need to have a sleep!

Awww, sounds like you had a lovely day George, congratulations on your girly ribbon (us mums like them, it means you've been very good) Don't worry, you and your mum will be practising that canter thing, I'm sure, then you'll be able to show everyone how clever you are!

Nice one George!!

We both did the yard show last week and tried really hard and won some girlie ribbons

- thought it would shut mum up and she would let us hang out in our fields - but O no she is now planning more stuff for us to do!! It seems the more you behave the more you have to do.....

Well done George and good boy for looking after Mummy so well! But naughty boy for going sideways in Canter, when you hear the word Elementary, then you can start doing that, ok?!

Well done to both of you, sounds as if you were pretty brave in the end really George! Think those carrots were well deserved.

Now you've just got to be good for the canter practice and you'll get mountains of apples and carrots if you're good at Trailblazers! yum
